The high-energy activities under Xtreme Adventures Family Fun Center?s roof instigate rushes of adrenaline in technicolor environs. In the multileveled, 6,000-square-foot laser-tag arena, teams of combatants track down their opponents as they navigate serpentine passageways, duck around forest plants, and circumvent digital quicksand. Padded Crazy Cars spin 360 degrees as drivers ricochet around the rink, while on the trampolines lining the walls and floor of the Xtreme Jump pit, visitors of all ages traverse its elastic expanses in leaps and bounds. After their adventures, they can sample snacks from the Xtreme Cafe & Bar, including pizza, sandwiches, and wings.

The BlueMountain Activities team makes sure each guest can have fun out on the water, whether it's frozen solid or shimmering in the summer sun. During the winter, customers can rent ice-fishing huts and explore the snow-covered trails on snowshoes or snowmobiles either on their own or with guides skilled at warding off the forest's wild plows. Conversely, in the warmer months, BlueMountain rents out wave runners and party barges for sunlit cruises on the Georgian Bay.

Q&A with Jose Goncalves, Chief Flight Instructor
What is one of your signature services? How is it performed?
The aim of the private-pilot ground school is to provide you with the knowledge to make you a safe pilot. To this end, we have designed and modified the ground school syllabus over the past 14 years to achieve this goal and to ensure that you gain the most benefit from the material.
Ground school is completed in a classroom setting, and we limit the class size to 12 in order to provide the best interaction with all attendees. Ground school runs separately from flight training, but is an integral part of your overall success as a pilot. Many students find that doing flight training while taking ground school enhances their understanding of each.
Each ground school session is an individual module. Doing it this way ensures that if you miss a session, it will not affect the rest of the course?you will not be left behind.
At Future Air, we feel that there is difference between meeting the minimums and ensuring a complete and thorough understanding of the required material. To this extent, our custom-designed ground school course exceeds the Transport Canada stated minimums.
Classes are typically run twice a week for about 16 weeks.
Sometimes it's all about the little things in life. What supplemental courtesies do you include with your main services to leave clients with a smile on their face?
All ground school instructors are highly experienced and are dedicated to having the students gain the most out of ground school. The instructors are always available prior to the start of each nightly session to answer any questions that students may have.
The staff members at Future Air are highly experienced in the flight-training industry with a combined experience of over 40 years. Future Air is proud to have the highest experienced flight instructors in the area.
Future Air?s ground school course is conducted on site throughout the year, this personalized, in-class experience is unparalleled with any other course.
Is there anything else you want to add that we didn't cover?
As one of our students, you have access to notes and homework assignments that can be downloaded from the website, as well as our forums where you can interact with other students and our instructors.
Whether your goal is to fly for recreation or as a career, Future Air is your best option. Let us help you reach your goals.

Beginning its life in 1907, The S.S. Keewatin traveled the Great Lakes from the bottom of Georgian Bay to the tip of Lake Superior. Along with a fleet of four other ships, the Keewatin transported passengers on the 2.5-day trip for 58 seasons before being retired and considering a nice summer home in Florida. Though modern in one sense—it was one of the first vessels to carry radar on the lakes—the Keewatin was brought down by its wood cabin construction and inability to keep up with the speed of more contemporary planes and trains.
Today, the ship survives in its permanent spot at Port McNicoll. Tours explore the passengers and crew's staterooms along with the more glamorous ladies' smoking lounge and a dining room of the Edwardian period. Below deck lies the Titanic-era 3,200 horsepower quadruple expansion steam engine that powered the great ship as well as its demure disco.

What began as a nine-hole course transformed when Deer Run Golf Course sprouted a back nine in 2002 and, along with it, inherited a diverse landscape of riverside terrain brimming with marshes, waterfalls, and extreme elevation changes. The new batch of holes extended the total yardage to 6,120 from the back tees, a challenging endeavour that encompasses both wide-open, forgiving fairways on the front nine and tree-lined, water-laden stretches on the back nine. Players must adjust their swings and expectations accordingly as they make the turn, remaining especially wary of the tee shot from the 12th hole’s elevated tee box and the subsequent urge to somersault all the way down to the fairway.

Located on the shores of Georgian Bay, Xtreme Adventures leads wilderness excursions on dirt, snow, and water throughout the never-ending adventuring season. Jet-ski riders open up the throttle as they carve through waves, while guests on boat tours engage in such activities as wakeboarding, waterskiing, and tubing. On land, adventurers pile into the open bed of a Hummer, taking in views of nature as their driver climbs hills and fords a beaver pond. In the winter, the Hummer becomes the mobile staging point for snowshoe expeditions, which take explorers to the heights of the Niagara Escarpment.
